Nintendo is saying that a fire at one of its factories that are assembling the Wii U will have no impact on production of the unit. Nintendo has said nothing else on the matter

Still, that has not stopped some analysts from believing that Nintendo will have to revise both its shipping forecast and its revenue projections. Despite that fact, Nintendo claims that it will have no impact on Wii production.

This is not the only cloud of mystery that is hanging over the Wii U at the moment, with 3rd party software developer UbiSoft confirming that its exclusive Rayman title for the Wii U that was supposed to be a launch title will instead be delayed till next year. No word yet if any other titles will not make the launch day release or not, but if they are not going to make it we expect to hear something soon.

Amazon announced that its Kindle line of products continues to sell like hot cakes. Namely, the company claims it sells more than 1 million of Kindles weekly.

The company said:“Kindle Fire remains the #1 bestselling, most gifted and most wished for product across the millions of items available on Amazon.com since its introduction 11 weeks ago". Furthermore, Amazon claims that the line is gaining in popularity, with sales constantly growing over the past three weeks.

It’s no secret that the Fire has taken the market by surprise and Amazon is keen on meeting the demand. In fact, the company claims that it is building millions more to meet demand.

Amazon's Kindle Fire tablet, has apparently angered parents who think that the gadget makes it too easy for their children to buy stuff they like.

The Kindle Fire comes with your Amazon account information preloaded, along with "1-Click" ordering. That means anyone who is holding that device can place an order, whether it's their account or not. No prompts come up to confirm the purchase or ask for a password.

Scenic Labs founder Jason Rosenfeld said his three year old daughter using the device and clicked on an image of a children's product that appeared on the screen because it was in his shopping history. Of course, in a world where everything revolves around breeding and protecting breeders spawn so that they can populate the gene pool with more over protected runts, this a major problem.

No one thinks “shit don't give a three year old a tablet, she will be happy with a soft toy”. Instead Amazon is in trouble for not configuring its tablet in case some dippy parent gives a tablet to a toddler.

Of course, Reuters points out that would never happen to an Apple parent as there are all sorts of toddler protections on its gear. With Apple gear you just have to worry about yourself over spending within its walled gardens of delights and the three-fold more expensive price tag.

In an email in response to questions from Reuters about Kindle Fire, Amazon did not address concerns about the "1-Click" ordering, but says it has provided the ability for parents to limit what their kids buy when using applications downloaded for the devices. Kurt Roemer, chief security strategist for Citrix Systems, says parents and other users should understand what the Kindle Fire is and how it works before letting anyone use one.

The tear down people at Ifixit have been looking under the bonnet of Amazon.com Kindle Fire tablet and discovered that it is very similar to the playbook.

The tablet uses components from Texas Instruments, Samsung, LG and Hynix Semiconductor and is laid out in a way which would make it a doddle to fix. Miroslav Djuric, director of technical communication at iFixit said that the main application processor is a Texas Instruments OMAP 4430 processor.

Samsung supplied the 8GB flash memory chip, while Hynix made a DDR2 RAM component for the device. The Kindle Fire's display was made by LG. "The fact it looks similar to the BlackBerry PlayBook from Research in Motion, is more due to the fact it has similar components motherboard, battery, display," Djuric said.

The PlayBook also uses the TI OMAP 4430 processor. Inside it has a completely different layout, smaller battery, and different orientations for its components.

Toshiba recalled T130 Satellite laptops after some melted, burning two people. The problem is with the power adaptor which causes overheating in the satellite T135, Satellite T135D or Satellite ProT130.

In a press release Tosh said that the defective harness may, in some circumstances, overheat to the point of melting the computer's base at the location where the AC adaptor plugs into the unit.

The heat has lead to 129 complaints and reports of two minor burns and property damage. More than 41,000 laptops are affected. The action is being referred to as a recall by the US Consumer Product Safety Commission, Health Canada, and Toshiba in North America.

Customers simply need to install a BIOS update to check for the flaw. If the BIOS works out that a harness failure is occurring, external power will immediately be disabled eliminating the possibility of the overheating," Toshiba said. Then it will have to go back to Toshiba for a warranty repair.

Apple's latest toy, the iPhone 4, which only works when you use it in your right hand, now apparently now catches fire. The broken phone, which has sold in millions despite warnings, has had a list of things go wrong with it. It also switches off when you stick it close to your ear.

However now it seems that if you hook an iPhone 4 to your computer with the Steve Jobs' blessed USB cord the phone can fry and your paws can get burnt.

According to a source inside AT&T, the charring resulted from a faulty USB port and not human error: Apple confirm to AT&T that there appeared to be a defective USB port and not some sort of user error. It has not made any official comment despite the story being covered by Boy Genus complete with snaps.

The phone bezel was extremely hot and it slightly burned the customers hand. The USB port in the phone was slightly melted and the cord was badly melted.

Apple has a bit of history when it comes to products catching fire. Last year the iPhone 3G and iPod Touch were officially pronounced smoking.

The fanboy argument is that if you make enough electronic devices sooner or later one is going to catch fire. Of course if you make a $180 gadget and charge three times that much it is more likely to catch fire than a gadget made from products which were actually worth it.
